Topic:

1. Foundational Theories and Clinical Applications of the Acu-Reflex Point Acupuncture

Date and time: 3/2/2025 Sunday at 8am- 4pm (Central time)

Lecturer: Dr. Louis Jin, L.Ac

Course introduction:

Acu-Reflex Point Acupuncture (ARPA) is an innovative clinical acupuncture protocol developed by Professor Guan-Yuan Jin in the early 2000s and subsequently refined by his son, Dr. Louis Jin since 2006. This approach integrates classical acupuncture principles with contemporary understanding of human physiology, pathology, neuroanatomy and neuroscience.
Root in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts, including the meridian system, ARPA incorporating the latest modern insights into physiological, pathological, fascial, musculoskeletal, humoral, neurological, and structural-functional aspects of acupoints or targets of emphasizes on the body surface, these "Reflex points" are often thought as bidirectional gateways for effective diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
The protocol employs targeted stimulation of specific locations that reflect "disease-based manifestations" or "syndrome-based pattern differentiations" according to TCM principles and nerve innervations. This approach aids in both diagnosis and treatment, aiming to promote healing and alleviate various symptoms and conditions.

Most diabetic patients exhibit low immune function, which means they have a higher susceptibility to infections. Infection, pain, fever and inflammation can lead to an increase in blood glucose level. Further, when infection becomes chronic, it leads to even higher blood glucose level. On the contrary, high blood glucose may also worsen infections, producing a vicious cycle.

Therefore, it is important to treat infection and inflammations during clinical application. When the infection is under control, the blood glucose level will naturally decline as a result.

4. Free CPR class
